Leverkusen have won all five of their Bundesliga matches against FC Augsburg – against no other Bundesliga side have Bayer 04 played as many games without dropping any points.

There have been 20 goals in those five Bundesliga matches (4 per game) – that is the second-highest Bundesliga goal average between two sides that currently play in the top flight.

After their 2-1 win in the meeting earlier this season (matchday 10), Leverkusen had a 15-point advantage over 15th-placed Augsburg – that gap is currently five points.

Bayer 04 have lost eight of their last nine competitive matches (1 draw) and sit 15th in a table representing the second half of the season – only Stuttgart (5) have collected fewer points than Leverkusen in that table (7).

Augsburg have converted 56.3% of their clear-cut chances this season – a league high.
